Who were you?
Who were you?
Okay, so you basically all loved the Warriors from day one. Yes. But again, I think between loving the Warriors, there's a lot of people that love the Warriors. I mean, we live in the Bay Area, right? I mean, everybody loves the Warriors. But there's a big difference between loving the Warriors and getting to work with one of the most iconic people

beloved, accomplished athletes of all times, right? So there's a big difference. And I want you to take us to where do you think that jump started? How did, do you even have any connections in the sport business?

And I want to go there because, Tiffany, first of all, I think you said, for me, it's one of the most important words, which is hunger. I think that without the hunger, you know, I mean, if somebody is way too comfortable, they just not necessarily going to have the edge to continue and to push. And I love that you said the word hunger, because for me, that's such an iconic word.

But like you said, you started as a receptionist and you were not afraid to start basically from the bottom and to basically prove your way up. Talk to me a little bit about what that journey was like for you.

Wow. Now, as a receptionist or right after, do you have accessibility to the players? Like, were they able to see how you perform? Kind of my instinct is probably not, but what kind of visibility did you have?

Exactly. I mean, it's incredible. It's such a beautiful story. And if I'm not mistaken, in 2015, I think you played a very major role in organizing that NBA championship parade for the Warriors. Do you think it was a pivotal moment or tell us a little bit how you see this?

So first of all, what I got out of this is that level of curiosity and learning to just keep on asking the tough questions because you're right. We just look at a parade like I didn't even think of the bike rack. And my husband will actually spank me for this because he's a cyclist. He's like always complaining about the bike rack. So I should have thought about it, but I didn't.
